135: Chapter 135 Officially Taking Office

Since he had not yet officially taken office, Qin Chuan naturally declined.

However, he had Director Huang's number saved on his phone, so he took it out and dialed it.

"Director Huang, this is Qin Chuan. I am currently at Window 4 of the service hall on the first floor. Come over here immediately."

At this moment, Director Huang was in his office.

He had already found out that the new bureau chief would officially take office next Monday. He wanted to show his face before the leader took office, express his loyalty, and leave a good impression on the leader.

Hearing his phone ring, he picked it up and looked at it. His heart trembled involuntarily; it was actually Director Qin calling.

There was no surprise or joy in his heart, only shock.

Director Qin had called him personally; he hoped nothing had happened. But as the saying goes, whatever you fear most is what happens.

Once the call connected, Qin Chuan's authoritative voice came through, ordering him to go to the service hall immediately. Then, the call hung up, not allowing him to ask a single question.

It's over, something must have happened!

Director Qin was actually in the service hall. Most likely, some blind fool had run into the new bureau chief's crosshairs. Damn it, I'm probably going to be in trouble too.

Without time to think, Director Huang practically jogged all the way to the service hall. When he looked towards Window 4, he recognized Qin Chuan immediately.

Because he had seen Qin Chuan's photo on the official website beforehand, he had deeply memorized his appearance in his mind.

The office director ran into the service hall panting, and this appearance quickly attracted the attention of many people, including the director of the service hall, Zhou Zicheng.

Zhou Zicheng hurriedly trotted over. "Leader, is there something wrong?"

Little did he expect that Director Huang would ignore him completely, running straight toward Window 4 until he reached the young man.

"Di... Director Qin, hello. I... I am Director Huang."

Whether it was because he ran too fast or because he was nervous, Director Huang's voice trembled slightly.

Qin Chuan glanced at him. He was in his forties, medium height, neither fat nor thin. This was the office director, Director Huang.

"Director Huang, I ask you, why is work not being done at four o'clock? Why is the staff's attitude so arrogant!"

At this moment, Liu Cuixia's face turned a little pale.

She was a contract employee. Although she didn't have the benefits and perks of a permanent employee, this job was still decent—no overtime, no working in the sun and rain, and there was a chance to become permanent. It was much better than other jobs.

It's over, it's over. This job probably won't be saved.

It was around four-something in the afternoon. Because it was Friday, some people had already started to get off work. There were some staff members in the hall preparing to leave, walking out in twos and threes, chatting and laughing.

Seeing Director Huang, they immediately stopped in their tracks. Some quick-witted ones even turned around and headed back.

Soon, they were collectively stunned!

What is going on!!!

Why was Director Huang so nervous, why was he so respectful? Who was that young man? It seemed like he called him something like "Director Qin."

For the past few days, there had been rumors about the new bureau chief. Some people knew that the new bureau chief's surname was "Qin." A thought couldn't help but pop into their minds: could this young man be our new bureau chief?

Director Huang didn't understand exactly what was going on for the moment, but he knew it definitely wasn't a good thing. Cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.

"Di... Director Qin, what exactly is going on here?"

Qin Chuan pointed at Liu Cuixia and said, "Ask her for the specifics!"

Before Director Huang could even ask, Liu Cuixia was already scared out of her wits. There was no trace of the arrogance she had just displayed; she was trembling and pleading.

"Director Qin, I didn't know it was you. I'm sorry, I will handle the procedures for her immediately."

Seeing Liu Cuixia like this, Director Huang understood a little, but not entirely. So, he asked sternly, "Liu Cuixia, what exactly is going on?"

Liu Cuixia cried while briefly explaining what happened. Immediately, Director Huang understood why Qin Chuan was so angry.

"You are fired. Go to the Personnel Department to process the procedures now."

"Director Qin, Director Huang, please spare me this once, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted. Director Huang would absolutely not spare her. Didn't she see how ugly Qin Chuan's expression was?

"Liu Cuixia, go handle your own dismissal procedures. Otherwise, I will call the Personnel Department right now and fire you directly."

Liu Cuixia walked away crying. She hadn't expected to be so unlucky today; the job she had worked so hard to get was gone just like that.

The service hall director, Zhou Zicheng, tentatively walked over with a smiling face. "Director Qin, hello, I am the service hall director, Zhou Zicheng."

Qin Chuan gave a slight hum and didn't shake hands with Zhou Zicheng at all. Instead, he said, "There are many problems in the service hall. The faces are cold, matters are hard to handle, and the service awareness is too poor. Furthermore, who made the rule that no matters are handled after four in the afternoon?"

Zhou Zicheng regretted it so much he just wanted to slap himself. Director Qin's expression was awful; why did he go over there?

Now he could only admit his mistake and hurriedly said, "Director Qin, rest assured, I will rectify this immediately, immediately."

Qin Chuan said, "If you say you will rectify it, you must really do so. I will come to check again next week. If it hasn't been rectified properly, you won't be the director anymore."

"Rest assured, Director Qin, I will definitely rectify it properly."

Presumably having heard that the new bureau chief was in the service hall, the leaders of the Market Supervision Bureau came over one by one. Soon, Qin Chuan was surrounded by the leaders of the Market Supervision Bureau.

Not only were there several deputy bureau chiefs, but also heads of various departments below, and so on, like stars surrounding the moon.

The onlookers around were amazed.

Is this our new bureau chief!

Unbelievable, he is too young!

Seeing that there were more and more people, which was already affecting the work here, and since he had not yet officially taken office, Qin Chuan politely declined their request to have dinner together that evening. He didn't even go inside the Market Supervision Bureau to inspect it, but instead left with Zhu Qingxi.

After leaving the Market Supervision Bureau, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Accompanied by Zhu Qingxi, Qin Chuan spent two days traveling around Jianning City in a low-key manner, even visiting several famous scenic spots nearby.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was Monday.

Getting up early in the morning, Qin Chuan put on the brand-new white shirt, black trousers, and leather shoes that Zhu Qingxi had picked out for him. He looked in the mirror and then put on an administrative jacket.

Around 8:30, Qin Chuan arrived at the Municipal Organization Department, a full half hour early.

Today, he would go to the Market Supervision Bureau to officially take office. According to the agreement made when reporting for duty last Friday, a deputy director from the Municipal Organization Department would escort him to take office.

Little did he know, shortly after arriving at the Municipal Organization Department, a staff member took Qin Chuan directly to the door of the office of Jiang Xing, a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and head of the Organization Department.

"Director Qin, Minister Jiang is in his office. He specifically instructed that after you arrive, you should go see him first. Please knock and go in."

Qin Chuan nodded slightly and raised his hand to knock on the door a few times.

Hearing the voice "Please come in" from inside, Qin Chuan pushed the door open and walked in.
